merub x murtasim os : the one for me

The One For Me

Merub's POV
Well I got married to Murtasim under such unfortunate situations and it was hate at first sight I swear.  I always believe how a moment alone is enough to melt the fire of hatred we all carry in our hearts. This is what happened with Murtasim and me.

He was the cold wave for the world but the ray of heat in cold for me. The man who literally resembles the lion "the king" protects me from every trouble that even thinks to enter our life.

It's been said that when a child is born especially the first one, it's the rebirth of parents too. The pain a woman goes through from conceiving till delivering the child, the dad who is an unsung hero of this whole situation is long forgotten when the new life enters the world. 

When the news of my pregnancy was confirmed, I was shocked and unable to process that I was carrying a life inside me. Murtasim's face, "Allah" I can't ever forget it. He after coming back locked himself in our room. I had to enter using a duplicate key and the scene shocked me.

Flashback

"Murtasim, dawarza kholo.

After knocking for several times when he didn't open the door, the fear started entering my mind. I caressed the place where the baby is supposed to be, and tried to retain some strength. I ran to get the duplicate keys and the scene shocked me.

The room was flooded with darkness as if telling me that my shauhar was drowning in the river of the past.

I immediately turned on the light and there Murtasim in the corner was in the foetus position crying and patting himself as if trying to sleep to erase those nightmares. I quickly reached him and sat near him trying to bring him back from the cage he was locked into.

"Murtasim, Murtasim dekho meri taraf. Tumhari Merub hai na tumhare pass. Please dekho meri taraf". Even my eyes were filled with tears after seeing him. He looked so broken and defeated.

"Merub, du...r....r chali jao mujhse tumse. " He was quivering while saying this.
I was shocked then realised where his thoughts were going.
"murtasim shant ho jao. Paani piyo pehle tum, phir baat krte hai .

After making him drink, I took a long breath to calm myself. My hands were shivering while wiping his tears.

I took his face in my hands and pecked his forehead.
"Tum apne baba jaise nahi ho, Murtasim". As if these were the words he was waiting to hear.

"Merub" looking at me in hope.

" Duniya ka toh nahi pata par ab tum aur humara baby hi meri duniya hai Murtasim and main iski har haal main hifazat krungi. Tum beshaq hi thode se akdu ho pr tumhara dil bilkul pak hai Murtasim. Jiss shaqs ke hath kabhi kisi galat kam ke liye nhi uthe tumhe kya lgta hai woh kabhi apni aulad pe aanch bhi aane de.

"Par khoon toh ussi shaqs ka dhodta h na mujh main. Kahi main bhi apna aapa(control) kho beta aur gusse main tumhe ya iss nanhi se jaan ko chot pahuchai toh? Main mar jaunga merub.

I tried to control my tears from flowing. How bad his baba has ruined him.

"Murtasim tum duniya ke best baba ka toh pata nahi par janti hoon usse chot pahuchana se pehle usska khayal bhi kabhi man main nahi aane doge. Tumhara dard nhi samjhti main par humdard hoon tumhari. Galti kroge toh mil kar sudhar lenge. Murtasim , apne ateet ko hum bhool toh nahi skte par usse ek seekh(lesson) samjh kar apna kar aage zarur badh skte hai. Main hoon na tumhari lawyer biwi, kabhi aisa kia toh tumhe khud hi khatam kar dungi."

He put his head in my lap and cried till he could let go. As I promised, I was his humdard"

Flashback ends
Since that day there wasn't a moment when Murtasim left me alone. He made sure I had meals on time, used to come back early from his office, and massaged my swollen feet. He made the whole house child proof. 

At night he used to read to me and our baby , pecked my forehead then oiled my feet till I fell asleep. He even at 3am used to fulfil my cravings due to pregnancy. Now, I am at the hospital ready to birth our Jaan, our life.

Murtasim threatened the doctor that his biwi shouldn't even feel any ounce of pain otherwise he will see the worst side of him. The look on doctor's face made me laugh. Looks like mera shauhar forgot that it's supposed to be painful but going to be worth it.

After 16 long hours of pain, our little bundle of joy, our baby girl entered the world. The tiny life, the  miracle we both created.

Murtasim wasn't ready for anyone to take her out of his hold. The moment everyone was waiting for her name, Murtasim's reply shocked me.

"Iss bachi ka naam hoga  "Ayaat Merub Khan".

Maa begum "Aise kaise , bachi ke sath baap ka nam judta hai"

"Janta ho maa par hum aqsar kadar hi nahi karte USS shaqs joh humein iss duniya main laya hai. Janta hoon bache ko palne main maa aur baap dono ka barbaar hath hota hai par duniya aqsar bache ko sirf baap ke naam se janti hai aur agar uss par baap ka saya nahi , ya phir joh baap baap kehlane ke layak hi nahi uss bache ko badnaseeb aur maa ko na jane kya kya suna deti hai. Merub meri humsafar hai maa aur usne apni khud ki pehchan banai hai aur mujhe mere andhero mIn roshini di hain. Main chahta hoon humari beti uss insaan, apni maa ke nam se jaani jaye".

The moment I knew he was the one for me. Mohabatt toh sab kr lete hai pr respect har koi nHi kar pata.
